Five Iron Frenzy lyrics : "Anthem"

A nation stands with heart in hand
To sing their anthem proudly
Voices raised to sing their praise

Of their hollow country
All this talk of freedom
And some talk of liberty

From your plastic podium
You try and convince me
I can't fall anymore

For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to

I can's see red, white, and blue waving in the air
I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care
I'm sorry for my lack of faith

I'm not the greatest patriot
If this is all their is to freedom I don't want it
I can't fall anymore

For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to

Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy
Promise us that selfishness is the means for happiness
I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see

Anything but solace in what freedom means to me
I can't fall anymore
For some silver-tongued song

Freedom isn't free
So let me say what freedom means to
It cannot mean to serve ourselves

That doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't mean to give the license
To seek ourselves in anything

That would be slavery to ourselves it isn't free
Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me
